3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION

EMERGENCY OVERVIEWCAUTION!

OSHA/NFPA COMBUSTIBLE LIQUID - SLIGHT TO MODERATE IRRITANT - EFFECTS CENTRALNERVOUS SYSTEM - HARMFUL OR FATAL IF SWALLOWED

Moderate fire hazard. Avoid breathing vapors or mists. May cause dizziness and drowsiness. May causemoderate eye irritation and skin irritation (rash). Long-term, repeated exposure may cause skin cancer.

If ingested, do NOT induce vomiting, as this may cause chemical pneumonia (fluid in the lungs).

EYESContact with liquid or vapor may cause mild irritation.

SKINMay cause skin irritation with prolonged or repeated contact. Practically non-toxic if absorbed followingacute (single) exposure. Liquid may be absorbed through the skin in toxic amounts if large areas of skinare repeatedly exposed.

INGESTIONThe major health threat of ingestion occurs from the danger of aspiration (breathing) of liquid drops intothe lungs, particularly from vomiting. Aspiration may result in chemical pneumonia (fluid in the lungs),severe lung damage, respiratory failure and even death.

Ingestion may cause gastrointestinal disturbances, including irritation, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, andcentral nervous system (brain) effects similar to alcohol intoxication. In severe cases, tremors,convulsions, loss of consciousness, coma, respiratory arrest, and death may occur.

INHALATIONExcessive exposure may cause irritations to the nose, throat, lungs and respiratory tract. Central nervoussystem (brain) effects may include headache, dizziness, loss of balance and coordination,unconsciousness, coma, respiratory failure, and death.

MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET

Page 2 of 7

WARNING: the burning of any hydrocarbon as a fuel in an area without adequate ventilation may result inhazardous levels of combustion products, including carbon monoxide, and inadequate oxygen levels,which may cause unconsciousness, suffocation, and death.

CHRONIC EFFECTS and CARCINOGENICITYSimilar products produced skin cancer and systemic toxicity in laboratory animals following repeatedapplications. The significance of these results to human exposures has not been determined - seeSection 11 Toxicological Information.

IARC classifies whole diesel fuel exhaust particulates as probably carcinogenic to humans (Group 2A).NIOSH regards whole diesel fuel exhaust particulates as a potential cause of occupational lung cancerbased on animal studies and limited evidence in humans.

MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSUREIrritation from skin exposure may aggravate existing open wounds, skin disorders, and dermatitis (rash).

4. FIRST AID MEASURES EYESIn case of contact with eyes, immediately flush with clean, low-pressure water for at least 15 min. Holdeyelids open to ensure adequate flushing. Seek medical attention.

SKINRemove contaminated clothing. Wash contaminated areas thoroughly with soap and water or waterlesshand cleanser. Obtain medical attention if irritation or redness develops.

INGESTIONDO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Do not give liquids. Obtain immediate medical attention. If spontaneousvomiting occurs, lean victim forward to reduce the risk of aspiration. Monitor for breathing difficulties.Small amounts of material which enter the mouth should be rinsed out until the taste is dissipated.

INHALATIONRemove person to fresh air. If person is not breathing provide artificial respiration. If necessary, provideadditional oxygen once breathing is restored if trained to do so. Seek medical attention immediately.

5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES FLAMMABLE PROPERTIES:FLASH POINT: 54 oC minimum with ASTM D - 93AUTOIGNITION POINT: 494 oF (257 oC)OSHA/NFPA FLAMMABILITY CLASS: 2 (COMBUSTIBLE)LOWER EXPLOSIVE LIMIT (%): 0.6UPPER EXPLOSIVE LIMIT (%): 7.5

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDSVapors may be ignited rapidly when exposed to heat, spark, open flame or other source of ignition. Whenmixed with air and exposed to an ignition source, flammable vapors can burn in the open or explode inconfined spaces. Being heavier than air, vapors may travel long distances to an ignition source and flashback. Runoff to sewer may cause fire or explosion hazard.

EXTINGUISHING MEDIASMALL FIRES: Any extinguisher suitable for Class B fires, dry chemical, CO2, water spray, fire fightingfoam, or Halon.

LARGE FIRES: Water spray, fog or fire fighting foam. Water may be ineffective for fighting the fire, butmay be used to cool fire-exposed containers.

FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONSSmall fires in the incipient (beginning) stage may typically be extinguished using handheld portable fireextinguishers and other fire fighting equipment.

Firefighting activities that may result in potential exposure to high heat, smoke or toxic by-products ofcombustion should require NIOSH/MSHA- approved pressure-demand self-contained breathing apparatuswith full facepiece and full protective clothing.

Isolate area around container involved in fire. Cool tanks, shells, and containers exposed to fire andexcessive heat with water. For massive fires the use of unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles maybe advantageous to further minimize personnel exposure. Major fires may require withdrawal, allowingthe tank to burn. Large storage tank fires typically require specially trained personnel and equipment toextinguish the fire, often including the need for properly applied fire fighting foam.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ACTIVATE FACILITY’S SPILL CONTINGENCY OR EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN.

Evacuate nonessential personnel and remove or secure all ignition sources. Consider wind direction; stayupwind and uphill, if possible. Evaluate the direction of product travel, diking, sewers, etc. to confirm spillareas. Spills may infiltrate subsurface soil and groundwater; professional assistance may be necessary todetermine the extent of subsurface impact.

Carefully contain and stop the source of the spill, if safe to do so. Protect bodies of water by diking,absorbents, or absorbent boom, if possible. Do not flush down sewer or drainage systems, unless systemis designed and permitted to handle such material. The use of fire fighting foam may be useful in certainsituations to reduce vapors. The proper use of water spray may effectively disperse product vapors or theliquid itself, preventing contact with ignition sources or areas/equipment that require protection.

Take up with sand or other oil absorbing materials. Carefully shovel, scoop or sweep up into a wastecontainer for reclamation or disposal - caution, flammable vapors may accumulate in closed containers.Response and clean-up crews must be properly trained and must utilize proper protective equipment (seeSection 8).

7. HANDLING and STORAGE HANDLING PRECAUTIONSHandle as a combustible liquid. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame! Electrical equipmentshould be approved for classified area. Bond and ground containers during product transfer to reduce thepossibility of static-initiated fire or explosion.

Special slow load procedures for "switch loading" must be followed to avoid the static ignition hazard thatcan exist when higher flash point material (such as fuel oil) is loaded into tanks previously containing lowflash point products (such as this product) - see API Publication 2003, "Protection Against Ignitions ArisingOut Of Static, Lightning and Stray Currents.

STORAGE PRECAUTIONSKeep away from flame, sparks, excessive temperatures and open flame. Use approved ventedcontainers. Keep containers closed and clearly labeled. Empty product containers or vessels may containexplosive vapors. Do not pressurize, cut, heat, weld or expose such containers to sources of ignition.

Store in a well-ventilated area. This storage area should comply with NFPA 30 "Flammable andCombustible Liquid Code". Avoid storage near incompatible materials. The cleaning of tanks previouslycontaining this product should follow API Recommended Practice (RP) 2013 "Cleaning Mobile Tanks InFlammable and Combustible Liquid Service" and API RP 2015 "Cleaning Petroleum Storage Tanks".
